Cars these days are filled with helpful and innovative tech. Hyundai consistently offers customers high-end features you’d normally find in premium vehicles. Here are some of our standouts.
Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
Back in the bad old days, Hyundai would offer wireless phone integration with its smaller infotainment touchscreens, but not the larger ones. Which always had us wondering why. Now, every new Tucson gets a large screen and — hooray! — wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. In addition, the infotainment system can now receive over-the-air updates and gains USB-C ports.
Highway Driving Assist
We’re always impressed by how well Hyundai’s driver assistance features work (as well as those from cousin brands Kia and Genesis). Highway Driving Assist makes small steering corrections to keep the Tucson in its lane. When used with the standard adaptive cruise control, we’ve noticed that long freeway stretches are less tiring.
Hot stuff
In addition to the heated front seats (available on the SEL trim and up), the 2026 Tucson offers a heated steering wheel in the Limited trim, along with heated rear seats with more precise temperature control. We use it when it’s not even snowing outside.
Head-up display
A new 12-inch color head-up display makes it into higher trims of the 2026 Tucson. When using the onboard navigation system, this display can show directions from Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Fingerprint sensor
This new feature in the top Limited trim brings greater security, and you don’t need to be James Bond in your Aston Martin to get it.
Remote Smart Parking Assist
Exclusive to the top Limited trim (which is also one of the more popular Tucson variants), Remote Smart Parking Assist feature allows drivers to inch their SUV into or out of parking spaces while standing outside.
